Can I Buy One Hour of Your Time ?

A man came home from work late again, founded his 5-years old son waiting for him at the door. Daddy, may I ask you a question? Yeah, sure. What is it? replied the man. Daddy, how much money do you make an hour? Thats none of your bussiness. What makes you ask that? the man said angrily. I just want to know. Please tell me how much do yo make an hour? said little boy. if you must know, I make Rp. 50.000 an hour. Oh... little boy replied. Looking up, then he said Daddy, may I borrow Rp. 30.000 please? The father was furious. If the only reason you wanted to know hor much money I make just to borrow some to buy a silly toy, straight to your room and go to bed! The little boy went to his room and closed the door. The man sat down and started to think about the boys question. After an hour, the man had calmed down, and started to realize he may have been a little hard to his son. Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with Rp. 30.000 because he really didnt ask money very often. Then the man went to the little boys room and opened the door. Are you a sleep son? he asked. No, Daddy. Im awake. replied the boy. Ive been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier. Here is that Rp. 30.000 you asked. The little boy sat straight up, beamin. Oh, thank you, Daddy. he yelled. Then, reaching under his pillow, he pulled out some crumpled money. The man seeing that the boy already had money, strated to get angry again. The boy counted his money, then looked at the man. Why did you want more money if you already had some?, the father grumbled. Because I didnt have enough, Dad. But now I do, said the little boy. Daddy, I have Rp 50.000 now. Can I buy an hour of your time?

The man shocked, and speechless. His eyes filled with tears, then the man hugged the boy. You dont need to buy my time, son. Ill give you all of my time. Im so sorry..., the man said with tears. The boy felt so happy. Then the man decided to sleep beside his son. The next day, the man didnt go to the office. The man took her son to the central park, and played with his son a whole day.
